Q. also i am planning on running a hl2 steam server (counter-strike source) any tips for that?
A. Main difference being that Linux is open source and therefore you can do anything you want with it.
I think stability and security are the main practical differences.
Here's some comparisons:

How can I live stream an event with reliable delivery?
Q. The institution that I work in needs to allow its viewers to view an live event and I guess video streaming is the solution we are looking for. I have exposure to Windows but not much at linux. Is there any reliable way of video streaming using Windows and any tutorials on how to stream a video would be appreciated.
PS: I tried VLC but doesn't look like the solution we are looking for, some thing advance would be appreciated.
Thank you in advance!

A. Yes, infact I believe that Microsoft Windows has one of the best solutions for video streaming. It is called IIS Smooth Streaming and IIS Live Smooth Streaming and as I see you are broadcasting a live event, probably an input from a DV Camera.
If you have a Windows Vista / 7 PC and Microsoft Expression Encoder all you need to do is to download a web player (Silverlight) and doing some tweaks here and there and you will end up with a video streaming solution that is comparable with the industry. Expression Encoder Pro is available free of charge without the H264 codec and could be obtained from their site (doesn't show up easy) other wise its just below 200$ in price and is worth it.
I wrote an article on IIS Live Smooth Streaming, on my industrial training experience and hope it will be helpful to you: http://ziyan.mozeej.com/2011/11/iis-live-smooth-steaming-professional-way-of-streaming-videos.html
The article contains a video tutorial on how to do it. I use the same computer as the encoder, server and end user. You could use appropriate IPs and do it in a multiple computer environment.

Good luck!

Can I run Vindictus on linux through steam?
Q. Hello, I use ubuntu and since steam can run on linux i was wondering if i can play Vindictus through steam on my laptop.
A. No, looks like it uses HackSheild, which freaks out in a WINE envirment
Always check appbd.winehq.org in the future for these types of questions.
"What works
Installation. $ winetricks ie6 corefonts for 64 bit users, WINEARCH=win32 is necessary to install ie6. ie8 was tested, but didn't work.
What does not
Starting the game. It crashes on startup due to HackShield."
